​People across Scotland will join together in prayer at 7pm tomorrow (Sunday) for the tenth consecutive week.

The statement and prayer for those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic is signed by leaders from 14 Scottish churches and Christian organisations, including Archbishop Cushley.

It reads: "On this Day of Pentecost we give thanks for the gift of the Holy Spirit, believing that it is by the Spirit that God guides us."

Let us pray

Almighty God, by your Spirit,you equipped and giftedand led our ancestors to know youand to serve you and to glorify you.Continue to equip and enable us, we pray.And then, Almighty God,as promised by the prophets and as never before,you poured out your Spirit on these first believerson men and women, on the old and the young;and they were transformed and made alive,as dry bones brought to life.Pour out your Spirit on us, we pray.Almighty God, in these turbulent and uncertain times,send us the Comforter, that we might know you to be near.Grant us your healing touchand help us to know the rest that comes from resting in you.For the loving touch of your Spirit, we pray.Almighty God, by what seemed as a rushing windand as tongues of fire you brought your Church to life.Come to your Church now, we pray, that by the same Spirit we might be renewedand refreshed and remade and revived.Yes, Lord, grant us a fresh outpouring of your Spirit, we pray.And all our prayers we offerin the name of our Lord and Saviour,none other than Jesus Christ. Amen.
